There has been much anger of much people about the information and PR policies of at least one team and it is sounding a little bit like this is going to be refreshed a little bit.

So what about a minor prize for informations and PR policies? Would that be possible? Could the XPRIZE Foundation find somone who would sponsor this by-prize? Should be worth 10,000 $ to 25,000 $ - not more.

Now I have a hard time seeing the corporate incentive to provide such a prize. There needs to be something tangible produced. It's a lot easier to solicit donations for a prize that rewards what may be the result of improved communication policies (i.e., better flow of ideas = better investment and ultimately a better product is developed sooner) than some arbitrary prize for playing nicely. While improvement is desirable, it's producing that is important.
